Chapter 12

Part A

Kyuhyun had just turned 10 years old. While children at this age would usually be preparing themselves for school and playing with friends, Kyuhyun though was preparing for the next phase of his education as a member of the Dar Society. Killing.

At this age, Kyuhyun would be accompanying his mentor in finding and eliminating a target.

The first part was easy. Kyuhyun had been quite an exceptionally gifted child. However, problems began to arise on the second phase -- eliminating the target.

Kyuhyun held his gun steadily, pointing it to a man cowering on the ground. He was a wealthy business man who had crossed the head of the Dark Society by refusing to make a deal with them.

"P-Please, d-don't shoot me. M-My wife is already dead. N-No one will take care of my little boy when I'm gone. Please. I-I'll make the deal. I swear. S-So please don't shoot me. Not in front of my son." the man pleaded. The said little boy was being held back by Kyuhyun's mentor. He was only 5 years old.

"Oh please. We're not interested in your sob stories. You should have made the deal when it was offered I'm afraid that it's a bit too late for you." the mentor said, coldly before turning to Kyuhyun. "What are you waiting for? Take the shot already."

Kyuhyun stiffened at the order. He knew he had to follow but he was distracted by the little boy's cries. Other than that, something inside him was refusing to let him pull the trigger. He didn't want the child to see what he was about to do.

"C-Can he be removed from this room, sir?" Kyuhyun asked, referring to the little boy.

"No, I don't think so. I want him to watch. So that the next time he ever get across another Dark Society, he'll no better than to refuse demands." Kyuhyun's mentor said evilly.

"But--" Kyuhyun began, but he was cut short.

"Enough. Just do what you're supposed to do." his mentor snapped.

Kyuhyun hesitated and took a sideways glance at the sobbing child. The look of pity on his face didn't escape his mentor's watchful eye. And what he saw didn't please him.

"Pathetic, Kyuhyun." he said, shoving Kyuhyun aside which almost knocked him to the ground. "Just how hard is it to kill a man in front of a child?"

A loud BANG! echoed throughout the room. Kyuhyun's eyes widened as he watched the man collapse to the floor with blood oozing from a hole on his forehead. The little boy, whom the mentor had let go already, ran to his father's corpse, screaming and crying.

The next thing Kyuhyun knew, a heavy hand struck him hard on the face which caused him to really fall down to the ground. "You're a disgrace. You hesitate to kill just because a child is present?! What a sorry excuse for a student." his mentor snapped at him.

Kyuhyun's cheek was stinging but he didn't cry. he has never cried in years. He had been forbidden to show that sort of weakness.

His mentor grabbed him roughly by the collar of his shirt which ripped the thin fabric, revealing a tattoo etched on the skin of his chest precisely above where his heart was located. It was an imprint of the letters D and S made up of chains and barbed wires.

"See this mark? You have been branded with it immediately after you were born. THIS signifies where you belong. And THIS dictates what you are expected to be. You are expected to be a member of the Dark Society. A true killer. You're not supposed to show any weakness. And you are not supposed to care about anyone or anything at all. Especially not on petty children." Kyuhyun's mentor growled dangerously before he raised his gun again.

Another loud BANG! echoed throughout the room and was followed by silence. It too Kyuhyun a moment before he noticed that the sobs and cries had disappeared. Turning his head to the side, he saw the child lying on top of the corpse of his father. He was unmistakably dead. A bullet had been shot at his chest which had undoubtedly pierced his heart. But the little boy's eyes were wide open. And they seemed to be staring right back at him.

"If you weren't my own son, I would have shot you dead already." the mentor said, letting go of Kyuhyun's collar. "But make no mistake. The next time I see you hesitate in killing someone or show any concern or care for anyne, I will dispose of you. Just lie I disposed of him."

Slowly, Kyuhyun's eyes opened. It was morning already. Probably only a couple of hours before noon judging by how high the sun was up already.

Kyuhyun sat up and rubbed his palms over his face to rub off the sleep from his system. Finally, he wondered why he had that dream. It's been years already since that event happened.

Looking up, Kyuhyun saw his reflection staring back at him from the mirror hanging on his wall. His eyes traveled downwards to the tattoo etched in dark ink upon his bare chest. The letters D and S seemed to be leering at him. As if reminding him that even if he left, the fact that he had once been a member will never change.

Kyuhyun stood up and turned the mirror so that it would be facing the wall instead of him. "Just leave me alone." he muttered before entering the bathroom.

It wasn't exactly a cold day but Kyuhyun preferred to let the hot water wash over him in the shower. He found it easier to rid himself of the memory while he felt his skin protesting from the heat. It wasn't a memory that he really wanted to remember.

Kyuhyun could still almost clearly remember the beatings he too from his father after that event. But then again, that had been the last beating he ever took. Because that was also the last time he ever hesitated to kill. He stopped caring or showing concern for anyone or anything. His father had wanted him to become cold-blooded and so that was what he became. And he hardly changed even after he left the organization nearly one and a half years ago.

Kyuhyun took a really long time in the shower before he decided to turn the shower off already. Wrapping a towel around his waist, he walked out of the bathroom. With another towel, he dried his hair.

Sitting on the bed, Kyuhyun noticed a flashy paper on his bedside table right beside his guns. Curious, Kyuhyun reached over and grabbed it before looking at it carefully.

It was the ticket Ryeowook gave him yesterday. He never really thought about looking at it up until now. The name of the amusement park was glittered in the middle and tiny drawings of ferris wheels and roller coasters peppered the sides of the words. The whole ticket was artistically colorful. But Kyuhyun found the designs quite childish. And he found the idea of going to an amusement park extremely childish.

Come to think of it, he never had been in an amusement park before. He had never even been near one either. His father and mentor probably never thought about taking him there. Not really surprising since having fun wasn't among the things taught in the organization. Kyuhyun was ready to bet that his father would rather feed him to the dogs than to take him in an amusement park.

"There's no way I'm going to am childish place like this." Kyuhyun muttered to himself before preparing to throw the ticket in the trash can near his bathroom door. But before he could throw the ticket, Ryeowook's bright smile flashed in his mind.

I'll be waiting for you.

"Darn it." Kyuhyun cursed to himself, scratching his head furiously. "Did he really need to say that?"

Kyuhyun looked at the ticket again as if trying to weigh his options on whether to throw the ticket already or keep it. His hand that was holding the ticket was now already over the trashcan.

I'm giving it to you because I wanted to. So you can have fun with me in the amusement park. said Ryeowook's voice inside his head. I'll be waiting for you.

"Argh! Fine! Have it your way!" Kyuhyun growled, putting the ticket back on the table. "Damn it." he cursed as he lay on the bed with a frown on his face. He just can't resist the smile that Ryeowook gave him the day before. Most likely because no one had ever smiled like that to him before.

Kyuhyun sighed. He could feel his heart thumping hard. Well, why wouldn't it? This would be like his first time to go out with someone. While it wouldn't actually be called a "date", Kyuhyun almost felt like it WAS a date.

At around a quarter before 4 o'clock, Kyuhyun began to descend the stairs. He would have left sooner but he was having a little personal debate on what to do with his hair. At first, he combed it down like a schoolboy before deciding that he looked nowhere good with it. Then he messed his hair up to make him look a bit cooler. He even tried to gel his hair pineapple-style. But in the end, he left his hair the way it always was.

"Stop fussing, will you? It's NOT a date." he scolded his reflection before he had descended the stairs. "You're just going out with someone whom you have only met a couple of weeks ago. It's no big deal."

"My, my, you're going out early. Is there somewhere you need to go?" Leeteuk asked in a teasing voice as Kyuhyun passed by him in the living room.

"Shut up." Kyuhyun muttered as he exited through the door.

"Awww, my baby is being shy all of a sudden." Leeteuk squealed excitedly.

The word "shy" made Kibum, who had been busy typing a program to his laptop, look up from his work and stare at Leeteuk curiously. But he didn't say anything.

"You better not be expecting too much. This will be their first time together, you know." Kangin reminded him as he sat next to the Angel.

"I know. But you can expect miracles to happen, right?" Leeteuk said.

"You know, I'll only believe in miracles if somehow I can make you pregnant one of these days." Kangin said, rubbing Leeteuk's stomach. "Why don't we go upstairs and see if miracles do happen?" he whispered to Leeteuk's ear.

"Oh no, not tonight again." Leeteuk sighed.

Kibum stopped paying attention to them at this time. He was already musing about something else.

It was 4:15 pm and there was still no sign of Kyuhyun. Ryeowook was beginning to feel his heart sink. He and Sungmin arrived at the entrance at exactly 4 o'clock. Eunhyuk and the over excited Donghae have arrived minutes before that. And now, all four of them were still outside, waiting for the fifth person to arrive.

"Come on, Wookie-ah. Let's go already." Eunhyuk said.

"We're missing all the fun inside." Donghae said, looking hopefully at the people screaming their lungs out in the rides.

"But he might come any moment now." Ryeowook said.

"We've wasted 15 minutes waiting for him already. For all we know, he might not even come in the first place." Sungmin said, with his voice indignant. Deep inside though, he was celebrating that Kyuhyun still wasn't there. That means he can keep all of Ryeowook's attention to himself.

"I know. But can't we wait for a couple more--" All of a sudden, Ryeowook stopped talking and his face brightened.

For a genius, Kyuhyun found himself extremely stupid for miscalculating th distance of the amusement park which led to him being late. Very late. He wondered if Ryeowook would still be waiting for him. I probably shouldn't get my hopes up. He probably left already., he thought grimly.

"YAH!! Kyuhyun-sshi!! Over here!!" a high-pitched scream tore him from his thoughts. Looking towards the direction of the scream, he saw the little waiter waving at him. He looked extremely happy that he didn't even mind that people were staring at him.

Kyuhyun felt a smile creep on his lips. He was about to wave back at Ryeowook when suddenly someone placed an arm around the little waiter's shoulder and whispered to his ear which caused the shorter male to blush hard from embarrassment and lower his hand. Kyuhyun's smile fell when he saw whose arm it was -- chef Sungmin's.

"Why the heck is HE here?" Kyuhyun asked himself furiously. Then he spotted the two other guys near Ryeowook and he almost groaned in frustration. Those were th two waiters he kept seeing in the restaurant. Okay. That proves it. This is definitely NOT a date.

But then again, Kyuhyun found it too late to back out now especially since Ryeowook already saw him there. It would be quite embarrassing to walk away so he just heaved a huge sigh and went to the four.

"You're too loud, you know that?" he said as a way of a greeting to Ryeowook.

"And you're too rude. You actually made us all wait out here." Sungmin said to Kyuhyun. He still had his arm over Ryeowook's shoulder.

"I never asked you to. I didn't even think YOU would be here." Kyuhyun shot back in a cold voice.

"Funny. I didn't think YOU would be here either. I guess that someone like you really have no regards for warnings whatsoever." Sungmin responded. "Not really surprising from a mad-dog like you."

Had it been an anime show, you could probably see electrical sparks emitting from the two.

"O-kay. I gather that you two know each other already." Ryeowook said as a way to break the tension.

"No, we don't." Kyuhyun and Sungmin said, still glaring at each other.

"I think I see the 'war' Sungmin-hyung was talking about." Eunhyuk mumbled to himself.

"Huh? What war?" Donghae asked curiously.

"Nothing." Eunhyuk said. "Hey guys, since we are all already here, don't you think we should get inside already?"

Poor Eunhyuk. The two were too busy glaring at each other that thy hardly heard anything he said. So Ryeowook took matters on his own hands. Literally. He grabbed each of Sungmin's and Kyuhyun's right hands and dragged them towards the entrance. "Okay, break it up, you guys. We came here to have fun didn't we? And I'd rather see you both in one piece before the day is over so no fighting, please."

"We'll see about that." Sungmin growled at Kyuhyun as they were dragged away.

"Bring it on, then." Kyuhyun challenged coldly.

"Jerk." Sungmin shot back.

"Bastard." Kyuhyun replied.

Oh my, this will definitely be fun., Ryeowook thought grimly.
